I've got this same issue. My understanding is that it's a tension problem and that it may require being taken in to be serviced.

It does sound like a tension issue. Before taking it to the shop, try cleaning both the top and bottom part (canned air, the kind you use for electronics, works much better than those little brushes), oil the mechanical parts and re-thread your top thread.

(Sorry if that was common sense! It took me a while to figure out that problems that appear under the fabric are usually caused by problems in the upper part of the machine, not by what it going on around the bobbin.)

It was tension and lint, both of which are now fixed. On with sewing the epic tentacle dress!

My brother and I left Nashville yesterday around 3pm, so we should've been home by about 2am. No problem - I can stay awake that late. Well, we got about an hour and a half down the road when he realised he'd left his glasses at grandpa's house (he was wearing contacts, and they were already getting irritating), so we had to turn around and go back for them. We didn't get back to our parents' house (in TX) until about 5.30am. I had to switch out about 30 minutes from the house because I was falling asleep at the wheel.

Also, military funerals are super sad, and I think I'm PMSing. Apparently my mom reported back to my sister that I was the only person who "couldn't keep it together".

That's the spirit!

Your post inspired me to think the same thing, so thanks because life kind of really sucks right now at this immediate moment but it's nice to be inspired to feel otherwise. <3

Some lady just called me and asked if I read the bible and then started saying how I should because it'll cure all my suffering and all HUMAN suffering. Dear God. I should have known right off it was someone I didn't want to talk to because she called me Mrs. Mylastname. (Not that there's something wrong with being a Mrs., but I mean anyone I know well enough to want to talk to would also happen to know that I am not a Missus!)

That's a rough couple of days. I hope you get some time to recharge before flying home.

Try talking about yummy vegan food instead of sex and drugs! Also, there's at least one thread around here for talking about sex stuff. Post in there. People (like me) who don't want to know about ppkers sex lives can stay the hell away.

I think that's the nice thing about the PPK. People are free to say, "Hey! That makes me uncomfortable!" And you just back off, and it's cool. I guess I'm saying, don't sweat it JonnyWoop, learning curve. As long as you continue to be respectful when people voice discomfort, I think you'll be A-OK.

ETA: I also love how much I learn from PPKs. It's made me a much more thoughtful/considerate person.

What if I don't think I want to read about ppker's sex lives but I do like to be pleasantly surprised by their sex lives every once in a while? Which thread is for me?

I can send you a pm the next time I get it on, if you like? (who knows when that will be??)

Got a scarf from a boy at a bar. Left bar and ate street meat since I was tanked and pregan. Next day wore scarf, thinking of boy. Smelled mustard all day, couldn't figure out why. Apparently was drunk enough to not remember the street meat part of the night until much, much later when I found the mustard stain.
